About the Designer

Inspired by her love of vintage craftsmanship, designer Charis Kioupouroglou founded Manchester-based leather goods label Grafea in 2005. Though most widely recognized for its signature backpacks that update timeless, utilitarian shapes with playful patterns and unexpected details, Grafea also produces a full range of other bags and accessories, from colorful fur pom-poms to understated saddle bags. All Grafea bags are made with a strict commitment to quality and the expectation that each item will still look great decades from now.
